PV-Carport
A PV carport system offers an intelligent way of effectively utilising sealed surfaces to generate electricity. These carports are equipped with photovoltaic modules that convert sunlight into clean energy. This means that the area that would otherwise only serve as a car park is also used for sustainable energy generation.
Dual use of parking lots
Our PV carport system perfectly combines the protection of cars and their occupants from the elements such as rain, snow and sunlight with the generation of energy from a renewable energy source, the sun. It therefore offers all those who park their vehicle under such a carport not only additional comfort, but also the good feeling of having made a small contribution to the energy revolution.
PV carports are suitable for both private households and commercial facilities. They reduce energy requirements and thus contribute to climate protection at the same time.
E-mobility
The direct connection between electrically powered vehicles such as cars, motorbikes and scooters and a PV carport is beyond question:
Our PV carport can be equipped with PV modules that can provide more than 3 kW of installed power per car parking space. By installing battery storage and charging points, electric vehicles can be charged directly on site with self-generated green electricity, which is particularly attractive for environmentally conscious drivers. These carports also protect the vehicles from the elements such as rain, snow and hail.
Root system
- Firm anchoring despite low penetration depth into the soil.
- Can be used up to a slope inclination of 40°.
- Can be completely reused - Ideal for open land and agricultural areas.
Ground-mounted system
- Photovoltaic systems on large fields or unused areas.
- High performance potential due to their dimensions compared to roof systems and other PV systems.
- Modular design enables customised adaptation to local conditions.
Agri-PV system
- Dual land utilisation - combination of agriculture and energy production.
- Photovoltaic systems also offer protection against intense UV radiation.
- Sustainable and efficient land use.
Expansion of PV roof systems
Our PV carports often offer a suitable option for supplementing existing roof systems. Depending on local conditions, roof surfaces may be unfavourably shaded or offer little suitable surface area for sufficient PV modules due to skylights, dormers and chimneys. The desire for more installed power can usually be met with a PV carport and the energy generated here can be fed into the grid together with the roof-mounted PV system.
PV as a sign of basic green understanding
Especially for businesses and companies that support the energy transition, it can be an advantage to inform customers about their own philosophy by setting a practical example. Customer parking lots with PV carports make a statement that cannot be overlooked. Charging points connected here represent a convenience for those who drive electric cars or vehicles with hybrid drives. The partial or complete conversion of the company fleet to electric vehicles can also mean enormous cost savings if the electricity to run the vehicles also comes from the company's own carports.
Versatile
The modular PV carport is a flexible and sustainable solution for generating energy that can be adapted to different areas of application. In public parking lots, these carports offer an environmentally friendly way to effectively use large areas to generate electricity while protecting vehicles from the weather.
Commercial car parks also benefit from modular PV carports, as they not only reduce energy costs but also help to improve the company's environmental footprint.
In the residential segment, modular PV carports can be installed in car parks of detached houses or apartment blocks. They offer an efficient way of utilising solar energy directly on site, which both reduces energy costs and increases the sustainability of the household.
Thanks to their modular design, these carports can be easily adapted to specific requirements and spatial conditions, which further increases their versatility and attractiveness.

Planning & construction
The planning of PV systems is complex and requires detailed preparation. In particular, the mounting system, the creation of customised drawings and detailed parts lists are crucial for the smooth installation of such projects.
Occupancy & pile-driving plans
This process includes the creation of occupancy and piling plans as well as the optimal utilisation of space and the consideration of individual requirements. It is important that the available space is utilised in an ideal way. Minimising investment costs while at the same time optimising output is our maxim for this service.
Static calculations
These calculations are essential to ensure the safety and durability of the systems. Our company always has the structural analyses for our projects prepared by external engineering companies whose static and civil engineers are registered as structural engineers. On request, we can also have our structural analyses checked and green stamped by accredited structural engineers. This fulfils the high demands placed on structural stability, whether required by the relevant building authority or simply as a private-law inspection.
Geological surveys
Geological surveys are an essential part of the planning phase. Among other things, they also include a chemical analysis of the soil composition and thus not only guarantee the stability of the selected foundation form, but also ensure a professional definition of the service life in terms of corrosion protection.
Extraction test
Determining the ground conditions and load-bearing capacity is an essential step in the planning and realisation of photovoltaic projects. Various methods and techniques are used to ensure that the subsoil fulfils the requirements and that the safety of the construction is guaranteed. The most important methods include pull-out tests, which help to determine the load-bearing capacity of the soil.
More than just profiles
- Customised solutions that meet the specific requirements of each project.
- Additional services such as technical advice, project management support, occupancy and pile-driving plans and much more.
- Focus on a holistic view of the projects to ensure that the products are perfectly harmonised.
